The NetherRealm team is committed to making sure that we follow up the success of 2011's Mortal Kombat with an equally compelling experience on the PlayStation Vita. The original game content and new features we developed for the PlayStation Vita will provide gamers with the best fighting game experience available on the new mobile platform." - Ed Boon, Creative Director, NetherRealm Studios

One interesting point of note, is that they say the game is going to be playable at the Vita preview Vita Hill Social Clubs which are opening across the US today. I have received word that the game will not be there starting today, but to stay tuned to the PlayStation Blog for more details on when it and other new Vita games will be available to play before the Vita launches on February 22nd, 2012.

Let's start a wishlist thread lol
Exclusive kharacters? UMK3 ninja costumes? New game mode?
The X-Ray will probably be performed by sliding your finger across the rear touch pad.
I'm getting the Vita just for this game!

This is fantastic news!! Well done Ed and his team!! I cat wait to buy a Vita now just for this!!! I bet it is even better than the console versions. Only a few weeks till the Vita in the UK, i cant wait, i really cant wait!

Hmmm, I wish I just waited and got a vita instead of a 3DS. I guess I'll have to be an owner of vita as well now.
Its all good, since I haven't gotten into this mortal kombat 9, I'll get into it with the vita.

Just some more disappointing news Boon and co really like to re-release the same thing more and more time. And when we thrill expecting something new, they re-release it once again. Of course, i didn't even expect MK10 will come this winter, but at least - a short PSN game, new Mythologies or something. What's the point in these "Komplete Editions" as everyone who was interested, already bought all DLCs in summer.
I really already planned to buy Vita especially for a new MK. Buying a new console for a pair of klassic costumes? I will not.
Me is very sad.

Gimme different menu and character selection art, 2 new characters, playable bosses, Male MK2 and UMK3 costumes for the ninjas, MK2's missing costume for Mileena, a new game mode (or maybe "choose your destiny" ladders) and I'm sold.
Asking too much? Maybe, yeah... but wanting some of us to buy a game twice is also asking too much IMO.

New Challenge Tower!!!
Ed Boon: The fundamental necessity is quick access to gameplay, whether it’s online or locally. The mobile gaming experience is shorter bites of time. We identified the Challenge Tower as a perfect fit for mobile sessions, so we expanded it greatly for PS Vita. There are actually two Challenge Towers in the PS Vita version, and the new one has 150 challenges that are exclusive to PS Vita. A number of those challenges use PS Vita’s hardware features: the touch screen, the accelerometer. [...] In terms of gameplay, we’ve always wanted MK to be as accessible as possible. For example, you can touch your X-ray meter to execute an X-ray attack. For fatalities, you can “slash” the screen with the appropriate inputs — say, away, away, up — to execute the fatality. It makes some of the more difficult fatalities easier and it’s fun to slash at your screen to fire off a fatality. I was surprised by how engaging it is.

Now I hope to hear about the missing alternate costumes, MK4 Quan Chi, Sareena, Fujin, Tanya, or whoever. Friendships, brutalities? Choose your destiny? Cheat menu? Make it easy for us to give you our money NRS :D

No new characters I'm pretty sure..Ed would have told us at this point instead of the new Challenge Tower missions. I'm pretty sure the game is already 100% complete and ready to ship. However, they could give us brutalities since they were actually working on them during the development of MK9.

New challenge tower is still cute. But I'd be absolutely happy it there was the COMPLETE set of klassic costumes, and the most important thing - an option that all characters in arcade mode wear klassic costumes. In this case I'd be absolutely satisfied

That wouldn't be fair if the PSVITA got brutalities, extra unlocks etc. And yes i am showing off a little jealousy because im annoyed about this. What about ps3 and 360?. We were told no more DLC :/.... so how does that work NRS..

I doubt there'll be classic costumes for all characters... even tho I'd love more than anything a MK4 costume for Quan Chi (I hate his MK:DA look) so I'd settle for UMK3 costumes for male ninjas and the missing MK2 costume for Mileena.

It worked fine for Mortal Kombat Unchained... it was Deception plus 4 (or was it 6?) new characters and nobody complained.

Ok, so this is what I got from both the GameSpot and the IGN videos:
- There's new costumes exclusive to MK Vita, some of which are alts for DLC characters
- 2 New Test Minigames, one of which is Test Your Balance
- Touchscreen controls, including the ability to activate an X-Ray and perform fatalities by using the touchscreen
- 150 new Challenge Tower missions, including a NEW Challenge Tower reward and the ability to play as Shao Kahn in one of the missions
- Some content that wasn't in the original MK9 due to time constraints will be included in MK Vita
Yeah... I want this game and the Vita now pretty badly

Well in one of the other trailers there was an MK2 costume for Mileena and it seemed that there was an MK3 one for Sub-Zero which absolutly sucks if they do not release it for the console versions. I mean I know it is supposed to be exclusive but isn't that challenge tower and the ability to play as Shao Khan enough. I demand those costumes otherwise I am going to spam Ed's mail box on twitter.

Those costumes were released as DLC for the consoles. Guess you didn't get the memo. Only thing exclusive to the Vita version is the fact they're included with the game this time. Just like they're about to be for the Komplete Edition. I bought this game the day it came out, and I'm not whining one bit. People are going to complain no matter what, and it'd be pointless to flood Ed's twitter since you'd end up looking like a fool in the end.

I do agree they should release the remaining skins for the console versions, but still, I think the portable version should have some degree of exclusive content... and I don't think the challenge tower by itself is enough.

Exactly.
If NRS is as predictable as usual, then the 16 costumes will probably be as follows:
(keep in mind that ALL the DLC costumes from the PS3 360 version will probably be in, as well)
- UMK3 Sub-Zero
- UMK3 Scorpion
- UMK3 Ermac
- UMK3 Reptile
- UMK3 Smoke
- UMK3 Noob Saibot
- UMK3 Rain
- MK II Mileena
That leaves 8 costumes for other characters.

I too wish that those costumes would be released as DLC for the console versions as well. But the fact that they have announced the Komplete Edition with all prior DLC makes me doubtful whether they would release any further DLC for the consoles.

MKII Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and Reptile I could see them doing.
Ermac and Rain weren't in MKII, and Smoke, Noob Saibot (the character, NOT Bi-Han) and Rain weren't in MK1.
Who knows though?
Cyber Sub-Zero got an MK3 costume, and he wasn't even around during the MK3 days.
I guess anything is possible.
I just wish NRS would have diversified a bit, when they were planning MK9, as far as other characters getting Klassic costumes.
It would be nice to see characters like Kano, Liu Kang, Sonya, Jax, Baraka, Nightwolf, Sindel .......etc, etc, etc .......... getting some Klassic costumes.

Do you guys think that the MK Gothy Edition for the PS3 and Xbox360 will have the extra content and features that the PSVita version of MK will have? Excluding the touch screen fatalities, but as reference to the new "Test your Balance" and and extra stages and dlc?

Id say they should do it for all 3 versions of MK9 GOTY, Origional, and PSVitato release the UMK3 Costumes including the MK2 Mileena and Skarlet costumes...Damn Im so Addicted to DLC

Originally Posted by : KasaiWolfI certainly hope they release the new costumes because the MK3 ones were my fave, it was the first one MK game I really remember playing and I want to get those costumes. They had better release them.

Well, the MK3 costumes are already there... it's the UMK3 ones that are missing.

I hope that if NRS DID make UMK3 costumes for other characters (other than the ninjas), that they'd eventually make them available via PSN and XBLA.
There's 16 additional costumes for the Vita version, and the ninjas would make up about 7 of those UMK3 costumes (including Rain).
That leaves 9 costumes.
Then you count the DLC alternate costumes, which are 4 more.
So, that leaves 5.
Hopefully those 5 costumes are Klassics for characters OTHER than the ninjas.

Ermac's MK1 costume is already in the game.
These are 16 additional costumes including the ones already out on PSN XBLA.
Noob Saibot and Rain weren't in MK1.
It wouldn't make sense.
Also, Rain was never in MKII.

It's NRS, it doesn't have to make sense, those skins are already made, they'll probably give them to the other ninjas as well. Cyber Sub wasn't in MK3, that didn't stop them from giving him a MK3 cyborg skin

They probably gave Cyber Subby an MK3 costume as a "what-if?" sort of thing because he replaced a character that actually WAS in MK3 (Cyber Smoke, who was also the hidden, unlockable cyborg in that game just like Cyber Subby is in MK9)

Actually Ermac was my only oversight... the others are costumes missing from the console version of MK9. And sure, I already said some of these wouldn't make sense, but it's a cheap and easy way to add more costumes just for the sake of it.

Exactly. Doesn't need to make sense, the skins are there... turn red to black and VOILA! Ermac to Noob. That's what I meant.
BTW, even here we can't avoid these spammers? Ugh.

Thats stupid how can NRS release more content and more costumes on the PSVita then on the regular console versions? What to make more money? I want the UMK3 Male ninja costumes on my Console version including MK2 Mileena and MK2 Skarlet me feel really sad now

Originally Posted by : MK9Scorpion2011Thats stupid how can NRS release more content and more costumes on the PSVita then on the regular console versions? What to make more money? I want the UMK3 Male ninja costumes on my Console version including MK2 Mileena and MK2 Skarlet

How else can they promote new console and a game for it? By adding exclusive content.

I will pay what ever it costs for those UMK3 Male Ninja Palette Swap costumes..i wouldnt doubt that this GOTY addition will have similar extra content like the PSVita then im gonna be spending more money out of my own pocket just to get the pallete swap costumes

It will NOT have something MK9 didn't have. Komplete Edition is for those who doesn't have the game and all of its DLC yet. Not to sound like a dick, but you guys who's hoping for something new should've understood it long time ago.

I already that already, we just didnt think that dlc was gonna be that big of a deal thats all

The UMK3 ninjas look exactly like the crappy toys Jazwares made. They probably added those to the Vita version, because they didn't think a new challenge tower would be enough to attract new buyers, it's actually a smart business move.
I was planning to get the Vita since the handheld was announced, so there's no reason for me to complain about them not being available for the console versions as well.
I'm quite pleased with what the PS3 version got, it doesn't need new kharacters or costumes, I'm glad that NRS has moved on and started working on other projects.

It's pretty normal for handheld versions to have something extra to compensate for the little screen and the late release. Personally, I'm OK with that... and if they announce more new content, I guess I'll be pretty tempted to get a copy for myself :D

I Jelous that the PSVita is getting everything the Xbox 360 and PS3 had plus more extra content like new mini games "Test your Balance" and UMK3 Male Ninja Palette Swaps i wish NRS would later have the tendency to release those outfits on the PS3 and Xbox 360 after they release it on the PSVita

I'm sorry but I'm not going to spend 250 for a portable console for a game I have on two systems already. When is the VIta going to talk about ORIGINAL games? Everything seems to be stuff that is already on console. No new IP or anything? No games MADE for the Vita? I mean I don't see anything new about the MK game worth putting it on MK for. The blood on the screen thing seem like a dumb idea. I don't want to waste time trying to wipe off my screen when I want to fight nor do I want to have to rub my damn screen smearing it like that. I just really don't like it. A friend of mine thinks I'll get one in the future but so far I see no reason to get one and to many not to and I'm not going to make the same mistake I did with the PSP. XD

Yeah i kinda agree with the wiping on the screen thing when your fighting seems kinda dumb to me also, like who is gonna want to waste time wiping the screen off when your opponet is taking you out?
The thing that i kinda dont understand about the Vita is if they have an online play, quick questions guys:
1) will Vita Players be playing on the same network and using the same chatrooms as the regular PS3 owners? If they do then i guess we PS3 owners will be playing against players who have access to all new costumes not included with MK version from the PS3 console
2) Honestly I have a PS3 and MK and im not whiling to spend 250 on something i already have..so my question is..if MK9 was one of the top selling fighting games in 2011 and lets say sales of MK on PSvita dont do good or they do good but not as much as Xbox and PS3 because mostly everyone has all DLC and the Game..do you guys think NRS might later release the extra outfits for PS3 and Xbox 360? Months later after the PSVita release?

The Vita hasn't even come out in America yet, and it's been on the market in Japan for just about a month or so. Every handheld since the Gameboy advance has released with some kind of port of one or other console game, including the recent 3DS. In a year or so, the Vita will have more stuff to call its own.

The blood on the screen thing is part of a mission on the new challenge tower, don't tell me that you people actually thought you had to do that in real matches lol.
The 2nd challenge tower was added to take advantage of the new features on the Vita.
2 more weeks before the Vita comes out! Get hyped!

Im really wanting to buy this. But i have MK9 on xbox :/. And i would feel stupid rebuying the game. Maybe if there are more features. But damn i can't believe the console versions never got UMK3 skins :'(. I bet the PSVITA version gets new arena's aswell. The ones that were missing.

1. UMK3 Sub Zero
2. UMK3 Scorpion
3. UMK3 Reptile
4. UMK3 Smoke
5. UMK3 Noob
6. UMK3 Ermac
7. UMK3 Rain
8. MK2 Sub
9. MK2 Scorpion
10. MK2 Reptile
11. MK2 Mileena
12. MK2 Skarlet
I think these are most likely going to happen, as they are easier to do. And since they said that DLC will have alternates too, I'll add the other two DLC characters.
13. Maybe Deception Kenshi
14. Disco Suit Freddy. whatever
That would still leave 2 more. Now since most of the characters strongly resemble their classics in either their main or alternate costumes, I don't think that they will get a classic skin. One possibility that could happen is a MK3 Cyber Smoke skin for Smoke. Another thing that could happen is a MK4 Quan Chi. That would be 16. I would rather them with the last two do something different, like the Human Reptile Skin from the MK9 art book.

I have a feeling that Rain will get a 2nd costume + UMK3 costume.
Meaning 2 costumes for Rain.

Even so I completed the challenge tower on MK9. I don't care to do it again, or to complete a new one. So that really wouldn't effect me. Not to mention that doesn't effect playing against other players either. Is they gonna add anything useful? Like being able to play arcade tag ladder ONLINE? Like I said before the game would have to be something that could convince me to buy a game I already have a console AGAIN. Not to mention pay 250 for a portable I'm iffy about. So far there isn't a game on the vita I'm interested in since they seems to be games I plan on getting on console.

In Japan the Vita is in a slump and I don't see it being much different when it gets released here. The thing is the Vita seems like it's being marketed the same way the PSP was which SUCKED. I don't see anything different from the PSP method so I don't see no reason to finding a vita worthy. Not to mention Nintendo had plenty of ORIGINAL games built for the 3DS ANNOUNCED before it was even released here. I figured the Vita would have done the same by now. There are plenty of games on the 3DS that were announced a head of time that is original 3DS game and aren't ports. I just don't see no reason to give into the hype. Seems like Sony is desperate to come back into the competition, but isn't going well about it.

That's not a good reason. People b*tch either way. What is the point of putting it on the Vita? To gain more sells? Which I doubt will be much considering I doubt the Vita will sell enough to make a real profit. Or is Sony putting them up to this? Only thing I can guess on.

Btw, this game is expected to be released on April 1st
It's up for pre-order already
http://www.ebgames.ca/vita/games/mortal-kombat/312426
I'd love to have Cyber-Smoke as the reward for completing the new challenge tower, but it will probably be the flesh pit costume for all the female ninjas (Kitana, Jade and Skarlet) lol

I thought it was gonna be released on march. Whatever date, I'm probably getting it since I'm buying a Vita at launch anyway.
BTW, flesh pit costumes for all the girls doesn't sound bad at all. Mileena kinda ruins it with her face XD

Capcom fans are mad at the company for adding new features to the Vita port of UMVC3 such as replay function and DLC sharing.
''It still pisses me off to no end that Capcom gave a replay function to Vita only and not consoles. F*ck you Capcom. Yeah, I mad.''
So NRS aren't the only ones doing this, people just can't accept that handheld versions get exclusive stuff. Grow up! Enough with the b*tching!

I'm OK with it :D ... I want the Vita version to have a lot of extra features, to make it a good value purchase :D

The 13 of the 16 costumes will probably be:
1. Skarlet alternate
2. Kenshi alternate
3. Rain alternate
4. Freddy Krueger alternate
5. UMK3 Scorpion
6. UMK3 Sub-Zero
7. UMK3 Reptile
8. UMK3 Noob Saibot
9. UMK3 Smoke
10. UMK3 Ermac
11. UMK3 Rain
12. MK2 Mileena
13. MK2 Skarlet
For the last two... MK4 Quan Chi and Deception Kenshi, sound plausible, I hope at least one of those is true. A Cyber Smoke alt could happen I guess, but it really shouldn't, he should just stay as his own seperate character. UMK3 Skarlet could also happen, since Kitana, Mileena and Jade got those outfits
As the Challenge Tower reward.. please don't make it more Flesh Pits costumes, NRS. Since we already unlock costumes just completing Tower missions along the way, the End Reward should be the worthy of its title. Give us non-perverted fans something actually worth going through 150 extra challenges to get. A new character, Endurance/Survival Modes, brutalities... hell, even playable bosses wouldn't be bad, even if they'd be pretty expected as an endgame reward

I'll choke a b!tch.
Been wanting Tremor to make an appearance in an MK game ever since the rumor of him being in MK: DA.
I've always wanted a ninja with earth based bowers.
I would have preferred him over Frost any day.
We already have Sub-Zero; No need for another ice ninja.
Aside from that, I was one of the many people asking Ed on Twitter about his inclusion as DLC, and he shot it down.
Putting Tremor in now would feel like a slap in the face.

This is how I view it.
I'm taking a good guess that everyone who is interested in this already has Mk9 for Xbox and/or Ps3.
So really this would mostly be used on-the-go cause I doubt if someone who has this is at home, they are going to play it over their console version unless the console is being used by someone else. So while this is a cool idea, it's not enough for me to buy a PSP Vita.

That's why I'm going to wait until the end of the year to see if the PSVita has more games in it's catalog, aside from MK, that I'd want.

It's great that the new Vita version has some more featurettes, but it really should have one or two new characters. When I heard the Vita version of SF x Tekken had 12 exclusive characters, I kinda snapped.

Not exclusive characters, all 12 of them will be released as DLC's for the console versions, they'll release them after the Vita port is out.
